Solaris 9 install on netra x1?

I am new to this list and new to solaris in general.

I am trying to salvage this Netra X1. It's an UltraSparc IIe 500mhz with
128mb of ram. I downloaded the free Solaris 9 for sparc cd images.
Originally this box had no hard drive, so I bought a normal IDE hard drive
and cdrom and connected it (the hard drive to primary and cdrom to
secondary). I did a probe-ide-all and both devices showed up.

Since the netra has no montior port I connected to LOM via serial
connection. I got to the OK prompt and did "boot cdrom" and ran into the
following problem:

ok boot cdrom
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ide@d/cdrom@2,0:f File and args:

I would really appreciate some help with this issue, I have been struggling
with it for quite a while. Since this had no OS on it before I really have
nothing to work from.

Thanks in advance,
